In fact, all nobles participated in disaster relief operations to a greater or lesser extent.
This is not because they are compassionate, but the consequences of terrible natural disasters are even more terrible. In many places, the victims have turned into robbers and mobs, and they have robbed everything in sight. Many people have escaped the natural disaster.
people lost their lives in the conflict.
Even one of Viscount Brandon's estates was burned down by the mob, and two of his nephews were killed by the mob.
The patrols were exhausted, the governor was said to have aged ten years overnight, and the mayor of Poitou fell ill and almost died.
Under such circumstances, Sean took office. This was a temporary position. In normal times, this would be regarded as an insult to the nobility.
Nobles should not be responsible for administrative matters, but should participate in dances, operas, hunting, outings and other activities that reflect self-cultivation.
There were more victims than Sean expected, a full 25,000 people, but in the end it was far more than this number.
On the day Sean accepted the appointment and took office, he took his own armed guards and strong men selected from the townspeople of Vichy town, and walked out of Vichy town to the western city wall of Poitou, a distance of more than 20 kilometers.
He dispersed more than a dozen groups of malicious refugees, shot and killed seventy bandits, and rescued several babies from the victims' broken pots.
The tragedies were appalling, but the only good news was that the Holy City pardoned all taxes for Genoa for two years.
It took Sean three days just to get these victims to obey the command, and another three days to get them to stop urinating in the open and bathe frequently, and at the cost of thirty unheard victims being shot on the spot.
.
The Cleveland butler commented: "This is the style of an aristocrat."
If the demeanor of a noble is to kill people, then don't do it. In Sean's view, this is just something that should not be done under severe circumstances. If decisive measures are not taken, the surging victims will swallow everything up.
Including Sean himself.
He would have people transport food in front of the victims every day to reassure them. In fact, the food was always quietly transported out of the sea at night and brought back by land during the day.
The Governor's Mansion was unable to produce much food despite all its efforts in a short period of time. Only when the current difficulty is overcome can food from other places arrive in the future.
Fortunately, the priest of Sawyer Church, Shackley, donated a batch of food, and the Robinson family lent some of the food, which relieved Sean's urgent need.
The church will always seize such opportunities to expand its influence.
Don't let these people idle, otherwise big trouble will happen.
Some old people were sent to the beach to serve as temporary fishermen, begging for food from the sea. Children went up the mountain to collect food, and women took on logistics and washing work.
As for the able-bodied men, they were first required to go up the mountain to cut down trees and build wooden houses. Then, as a result of their duties, they were asked to clean up their own barren hills. Others were responsible for water conservancy, road and bridge projects.
Sean has long been dissatisfied with the road from Vichy to Poitou, and he doesn’t know where the road donations collected in the past have been used.
Regardless of whether it is too advanced, the main roads will be widened to four lanes, and the country roads will be two lanes. They are made of compacted soil made of lime, clay and fine sand. The center of the road is slightly higher than the two sides to reduce downtime.
To prevent water accumulation on rainy days, the roadside was paved with stones, aqueducts were built, and beautiful flowers and trees were planted.
Along the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Sean planned several huge reservoirs by taking advantage of the natural terrain. Such a huge project, Sean had never dared to think of before, but this time with ample free labor, Sean did his part.
Sean even built a deep-water dock slightly east of Vichy Town. Currently, it is only planned to be able to dock 10 medium-sized sea-going ships at the same time. If it were not limited by geographical conditions, Sean would have a bigger appetite.
Those who do light physical work get two meals a day and one dry day, while those who do heavy physical work are paid "well" - sometimes they can even get a palm-long grilled fish.
However, while the mood of the victims is becoming increasingly stable, there are always noises.
"Sir, someone is spreading the True God Religion among the disaster victims." Nelson reported this new situation to Sean.
The True God Religion is an ancient religion, even older than the God Religion. One of the rebellious parties, the True God Party, is also related to the True God Religion and can be said to be a backdoor listing.
This religion is just one of the many weak religions in Europe. It is not prohibited by law and is a legal religion. In fact, there are still many religions with primitive worship among the people of the Europa Empire, worshiping those mysterious powers.
In the face of major disasters, human beings are insignificant and will naturally turn to gods to find spiritual comfort.
Not to mention the True God Religion, the priest Shakri also comes here every three days.
"Who's leading the charge?" Sean asked.
"LeBron Gable," Nelson replied.
This man Sean knew, because the villages where this man was the leader worked fast and well, and as a reward, they were given priority in getting material rations every time.
"In addition, I noticed that there are a few guys who always like to hang out with teams in other villages. Their behavior is suspicious. Especially they like to be near LeBron Gable's team." Nelson added.
"You mean, these guys might be the secret police?" Sean was surprised.
"It's just possible." Nelson wasn't sure.
"If they don't identify themselves, then I can think that they are just disaster victims. And if the victims don't work hard, they will either starve or get out. Tell Pierre my opinion, but don't identify them, otherwise
This guy Pierre will be scared," Sean said.
"Okay, sir." Nelson said.
"Also, you call this, um, LeBron Gable over here."
LeBron Gable, a 42-year-old tall, muscular man, originally lived in a village close to Poitou. He also lost his home in the earthquake and tsunami.
In front of Sean, he was a little reserved.
"LeBron, I am very satisfied with the work of the team you lead. Are the emotions of the victims still stable now?" Sean asked.
"Sir, everyone is doing pretty well, but we are still very worried about the future. We are worried that your food will not be enough for next summer's harvest." Gable replied.
"Don't worry about this. I will lend you a batch of grain, but it will take time. After all, the grain will not fall from the sky." Sean said, "If you agree, I can lend you enough grain now."
"Is this true?" Gable couldn't believe it and asked tentatively, "Then what kind of interest do you want to get?"
"No, I don't want interest, and I don't even have to pay back the grain I lent, but there is a project that you need to complete before spring." Sean had an idea and had a new idea.
"Sir, what kind of project is it?"
"Have you seen the Rocky Mountains? The town of Vichy and Fort Rowan of the Robinson family are both close to the sea, but because of this mountain, our mutual transportation is very inconvenient by boating in addition to climbing the mountain. If a road is carved out of the cliff near the sea,
This will greatly facilitate the communication between the two places. The land route from Rowan Castle to Poitou and the province of Javia in the west will be greatly shortened. The improvement of transportation and the increase of tourists will promote the commerce and economy of our area.
"
Gable looked embarrassed: "Sir, this is a huge project."
"No, no, I have inspected the area. All I need to do is carve out two lanes wide along the coastline. The mountains there are not strong. Besides, I will send someone else to use explosives, which can greatly reduce the workload of the project."
"Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with everyone and give you an answer."
"Then you have to hurry up, because I will negotiate with other teams to see if others are willing to accept it."
"Yes, my lord."
Gable turned around and wanted to leave, but Sean stopped him:
"My men reported that there are several suspicious people among the victims. I heard that they are always hanging around your most capable team. This will hinder my project plan. I hope nothing bad will happen. If
If you find anything suspicious or someone, please report it to me immediately."
Sean's reminder or warning made Gable's hair stand up. Is there a suspicious person hanging around him? Thinking of some possibility, Gable's heart tightened.
Although the True God Religion has not been declared illegal, due to the activity of the True God Party, it has brought some bad impressions to the government and the public.
Sean took full advantage of the victims' eagerness to go home, but they did not dare to leave Sean's relief because there was no food in their hands. Sean also used the presence of the secret police to beat Gable, and Gable was gone early the next morning.
Accepted Sean's terms.
A team of 300 people began the major project of the wall-mounted highway. This project was far from easy as Sean said, and Gable felt that he had been cheated.
When he came back to his senses, it was already the spring of the next year, and some victims had returned home one after another, but they were still immersed in work. The agreement had been signed, and it was too late to say anything. The heavy work left him no energy.
The only thing that satisfied him about preaching among the victims was that the food was excellent, and there was also a bounty to be obtained, which was more than what they earned from farming.
The explosive at this time was still black powder and had limited power. The roaring explosion could not but attract the attention of the Robinson family.
After observing for a day, Percy Robinson came to see Sean in person.
The Robinson family is also involved in the disaster relief and reconstruction work. Posey represents the Robinson family and even holds a similar title to Sean.
But compared to Sean, my management is too extensive.
The wooden houses or tents of the victims here are neatly built, with special canteens, special toilets, and special service personnel, each performing their duties. There is no one idle. The patrol team composed of militiamen patrols day and night, and the order is in order.
Percy even saw some civilian children learning to write.
